    Explorer.exe keeps restarting!!!

    After loging in, I get a message that says "Windows Explorer has stopped
    working"
    then it says "Windows Explorer is restarting." This keeps going over and
    over again. I have left it through the night and it still does the same. I
    cant do anything because explorer keeps restarting (desktop disappears and
    comes back). Many files i need, cant erase my hardrive.

    Please help!!!!!
    Many thanks

    its probably an internet explorer shell extension..

    you can use this program to disable all non microsoft ones until you find
    the one that is the culprit..
    http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html

    I am assuming you are sending this message from another pc..

    so download that,
    http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.zip

    unzip it. this does not need installation,
    and write it on to a cd then pace it inisde the crashing explorer pc, and
    press CTRL SHIFT ESC so the taskmanager will start
    then go to FILE AND RUN and type the path of the program you have on the cd
    for example if its the cd drive is D
    type

    d:\shexview.exe

    and press enter.. then right click disable all NON microsoft shell
    extensions (usually colored in PINK)

    do a restart and your pc will most likley stop crashing the explorer

    do a scan for viruses and spyware-malware

    tell me if this helps
